Can I use Forscan to reset transmission algorithm on 2024 Expedition?

[Hellwig]

On Forscan website, it clearly states that it doesn't support 2024 model year. But I assume the transmission control module should be the same since 2022?

For some reason I thought I read somewhere on here that disconnecting the battery for 20+ minutes does this as well, does it not? I bet it is the same though, just not "tested" and proven.

I searched online, and determined disconnecting battery will not reset the adaptive transmission shifting table. It has to be reset on a software level, either factory or Forscan.

What scanner do you recommend to use forscan to reset the adaptive transmission shift table? Thanks Hellwig

I would purchase OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner.

Take it to the dealer and tell them your NEW Expedition is shifting rough. They should re-program it for you, since it is new.

This. Its good to start the paper trail with Ford regarding the transmission if you think its gonna fail soon

To add to this, you can erase the Tranny shift memory, in FORScan, bringing it back to factory settings. This really does help with rough and skip gear shifting, as well as performance. I find after performing this in FORScan, my EX shifts perfect. Then after months of driving habits, different drivers, etc., it may go back to rough shifting, etc. So, I just erase again and relearn.

I eliminated the adaptive learning table and stopped using this feature the day before yesterday. The tranny does give a smoother feeling, although I still feel 4 to 3 slightly delayed downshift occasionally.

Mr. Big,

Could you point me in the direction of how to erase the Tranny shift memory in FORScan? I must be blind but I can't seem to find out where to do it.

I think those downshifts go hand in hand with the Ford 10-speed transmission. My Explorer also has a 10-speed tranny, and it downshifts a little rough if I start breaking at a light or stop sign.

Under Service Procedures / PCM / Clear Transmission Adaptive Tables. Now all learning changes based on driving habits are clear, ready for new learning.
There is also a manual way to do it without ForScan, which you can Google.

Thank you! With your information to dig deeper into, I also found it suggested to clear all three PCM options: Clear Transmission Adaptive Tables, Reset all Adaptations, and PCM reset module. Do you feel this is necessary?

I do this about every 3 to 6 months, depending on whether the X is lacking performance, running rough, etc.
